Database Design - Know It All

 All of the elements about database design are here together in a single resource 
written by the best and brightest experts in the fi eld! Databases are the main 
repository of a company  ’ s historical data — its corporate memory — and they 
contain the raw material for management ’ s decision support system. The increas-
ing volume of data in modern business calls for the continual refi nement of data-

base design methodology.  Database Design: Know It All  expertly combines the 
fi nest database design material from the Morgan Kaufmann portfolio into a single 
book, making it a defi nitive, one-stop-shopping opportunity so that readers can 
have the information they need available to quickly retrieve, analyze, transform, 
and load data — the very processes that more and more organizations use to 
differentiate themselves. Each chapter is authored by a leading expert in the 
fi eld; the book consolidates introductory and advanced topics ranging from ER 
and UML techniques to storing XML and querying moving objects. In this way, 
what is here is an invaluable resource for anyone working in today ’ s fast-paced, 
data-centric environment.
